Tests for interaction between baseline prognostic features and treatment

HR (95% CI)* p value*
Age (<70 years vs ≥70 years) 1·073 (0·772–1·491) 0·6764
ECOG performance status (0 vs 1) 1·271 (0·906–1·782) 0·1655
Alkaline phosphatase concentration (<1·5 times ULN vs ≥ 1·5 times ULN) 1·178 (0·847–1·637) 0·3304
Gleason score (≤7 vs ≥8) 0·888 (0·631–1·250) 0·4971
Lactate dehydrogenase concentration (≤2 times ULN vs >2 times ULN) 1·214 (0·789–1·870) 0·3778
Visceral metastases (no vs yes) 1·644 (1·157–2·336) 0·0056
Haemoglobin concentration (<110 g/L vs ≥110 g/L) 0·842 (0·597–1·187) 0·3257
Average daily worst bone pain intensity score (<4 vs ≥4) 1·057 (0·735–1·519) 0·7645
Log of PSA concentration 0·951 (0·845–1·071) 0·4105
Number of bone metastases (≤5 vs >5) 0·954 (0·655–1·391) 0·8077
Number of bone regions with metastases (1 vs ≥2) 1·156 (0·792–1·689) 0·4526

No adjustments were made for multiplicity. Log of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration was treated as a continuous variable, whereas all other prognostic features were treated as categorical variables. ECOG=Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group. ULN=upper limit of normal. PSA=prostate-specific antigen.
